Re: Problems with Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in recent builds ?
Kelly_Y Thanks... After my last message, I made the assumption that the CMD line switch was exactly as you confirmed... Since then, I've run the switch on every browser session I've started, and passed the info along to three internal colleagues in our org for testing... So far (obviously with limited testing of only a couple hours), we have not been able to replicate the problem when the --disable-features=msUsePrerenderNTP switch is used.6.7KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Problems with Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in recent builds ?
Kelly_Y Can you confirm how to properly add the switch? Does it go on the command line directly, or does it need to go between the --flag-switches-begin and -end switches? For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 1" --flag-switches-begin --disable-features=msUsePrerenderNTP --flag-switches-end -or- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 1" --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end --disable-features=msUsePrerenderNTP6.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Problems with Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in recent builds ?
SteveSta Yes, what you describe has generally been my experience, though again it's not 100% consistent. Occasionally navigating from one IE Mode page (opened incorrectly) to a second IE mode page (opens correctly).... Though I have never seen the reverse... Seems that once a tab understands IE mode, then that tab always works correctly. I have started working with MSFT on the case. The first thing they asked me to do was install Fiddler and capture the problem. Of course, once I installed Fiddler on two different test machines, I cannot repro the problem at all on either machine. Works 100% correct on the test systems after Fiddler is installed.6.8KViews0likes17CommentsRe: Problems with Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in recent builds ?
I concur. The method you mentioned... just keep opening new tabs to IE mode sites, over and over, until it fails.... is the only way I can regularly repro the problem too... I did open a case with MSFT... Unfortunately they did not reach out to me until 5 minutes before EOB for the day. (Of course...) So, I requested a call first thing in the morning on Monday. In the interim, if Kelly_Y can provide details on what logs I can collect before the call, that would be helpful!6.9KViews1like21CommentsRe: Problems with Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in recent builds ?
Unfortunately I cannot repro the issue reliably myself. It seems to happen intermittently. This far i have not been able to figure out a set of actions that can make the problem happen consistently. Let me know what logs I can collect which can help troubleshoot the issue. I do not know whether I can open a paid support request, or whether we have available VL support requests. I will need to check with the team.7KViews0likes23CommentsProblems with Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in recent builds ?
We are using the Enterprise Mode Site List to open specific internal pages using the IE rendering engine. (Primarily for our ERP app which requires Java Web Start... Not supported under Chrome / Chromium.... ) This has been working perfectly almost two years. We were using it before Edge Chromium, and now too with Edge Chromium..... Until recently, this has worked very well. In the past few weeks, the experience of opening pages in IE mode has become inconsistent. Sometimes the page will open in IE mode, sometimes the page will open in a standard Edge Chromium tab... If I look at the config in edge://compat/enterprise ... All the expected pages are listed with Engine IE11 mode listed (and the XML version number is current)... So obviously the browser is downloading the Enterprise Mode XML file from our internal web server without issue... This all seems to have started with Version 86.0.622.38 ... And still seems to be happening in .48 too (the latest release build). Often times opening a new Edge session will cause the IE Mode sites to open correctly in IE mode again. Also, using the compat/enterprise "Force Update" button will also cause the session to work correctly again. (But the SiteList has not changed in more than 6 weeks.) Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot why Edge is not opening the designated pages, using the correct mode?9.7KViews0likes25CommentsRe: How the new Edge will handle file:// URI ?
I know it may not be what 100% of people want / need, but this helped us since most of the items we were linking to were Office docs (not file folders, etc)... Check out the Office URI scheme, as documented here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/office-uri-schemes When using the Office URI, the file open method uses the Office protocol handlers which support the file:// URI .... so, a HREF on a web page can point to ms-word:ofv|u|file://<server_path_to_doc> and Word will open the file directly from a non-http path...
